Plane crashes into Wis. resort cabins; 2 injured

A light plane carrying two student aviators from the University of Dubuque crashed into a tree and cabins at a resort in southwestern Wisconsin and burst into flames Wednesday, leaving both students severely burned, authorities said.

The Grant County sheriff's office said the accident happened just before 4 p.m. at the Eagle's Roost Resort in the village of Cassville. The resulting fire destroyed one cabin and extensively damaged another.

Both people on the plane were taken to an area hospital with severe burns and then flown to University Hospital in Madison, the sheriff's office said.
